Usage

Template idea for the prefix Media:.

Media: vs. :File:

Both prefixes display a link instead of embedding the image itself but there are some key differences:

Prefix Sample Special:UnusedFiles prevention Provides a file page link Provides a special link to Special:Upload if a red link has been detected
Media: Media:MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png
Media:aeilsdfilasjdl.png
File:Check mark.svg File:X mark.svg File:Check mark.svg
:File: File:MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png
File:aeilsdfilasjdl.png
File:X mark.svg File:Check mark.svg File:X mark.svg

This template addresses these differences by bringing the best of both worlds together. Please note that this template should be used in main articles only.

Use cases

{{media link}} testing for bugs:

MediaWiki parsing Code
File:MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png {{media link|MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png}}
File:MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png {{media link|MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png|}}
test {{media link|MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png|test}}
[[Media:|test]] {{media link||test}}
[[Media:|File:]] {{media link||}}
[[Media:|File:]] {{media link|}}
[[Media:{{{1}}}|File:{{{1}}}]] {{media link}}
File:aeilsdfilasjdl.png {{media link|aeilsdfilasjdl.png}}
File:aeilsdfilasjdl.png {{media link|aeilsdfilasjdl.png|}}
test {{media link|aeilsdfilasjdl.png|test}}

Other

Uses {{!}}. Also hides media prefix usage with <span> tag and a simple CSS code. Special code implemented if a red link results from the file string specified.
